The car cut off while driving, a week before i took the car to the dealer complaining about the car no starting intermittent. the dealer return the car saying no problem found. after this happens cutting off while driving, i took the car again to the dealer, this time the dealer replace the "tipm" p/n 68244893aa, i was charged $890.10, the dealer mechanic informed me that this is well known problem, for the safety of other please force chrysler to recall this "tipm" as they did to the suv's. *tr
Vehicle would not start and when it did it would run at a fast idle then it would go in to limp mode while driving on the road, leaving the vehicle with little to no power to move out of the way of traffic in the middle on an intersection when the vehicle went in to limp mode. vehicle would lose all engine power while accelerating to speed at random times (making the vehicle bogs down) making the driver and any passengers get thrown forward and then be thrown back when engine power would come back. vehicle was also giving me problems with the automatic side doors not opening and closing and the hvac system would come on by its self at random times. the dealer replaced the battery (that i had to pay for) stating that was the reason for all of the problems i was having. after getting vehicle back everything was good for a few days then went back to doing all of the same problems within a few day of getting vehicle back form dealer. took vehicle back to dealer for the 2nd time and they replaced the pcm (2nd time the pcm had been replace since purchased 12/31/2011) & throttle body (that i had to pay the deductible). vehicle was still having the same problems so i took it back to the dealer for the 3rd time within a 18 day period. the service advisor told me that i could be the tipm but they would have to see it act up before they could replace the part, dealer told me that the tipm was the cause of all the problems. the tipm was replaced (had to pay for partial of the cost) and everything was working again. i feel that even with the tipm replaced that i could still have gotten a poorly made part as a replacement. i feel at time while driving that some of the problems are starting all over again, like the sliding door not working and the hvac system turning on by its self. on 1/22/15 i had a fuel injector go bad and had to be replaced, maybe due to the tipm? *tr

The tipm (totally integrated power control module) has caused fuel pump problems so dealer overlayed the fuel pump costing 400 dollars. it has caused my blinker to interment stop working. it has caused battery failure so we have to replace the battery 150 dollars. now the driver seat will not move it's a power seat and unless we replace the tipm we will have to spend money to overlay the seat. and sometimes it don't want to start we have no way of paying for the tipm and we were told it's not a part that has been updated to replace it with a faulty part is ludacris. this is a safety issue and needs to be recalled before someone is hurt
